CHAPTER XI. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1968.
[He waits; to manifest His grace]
When He had heard therefore that he was sick, &c.
—xi. 6.
He waits; to manifest His grace,
To help His dying friend, delays,
The sickness lingers to remove,
But not through want of power or love.

Lets a beloved patient die,
And then exerts His power to save
And lifts the sinner from the grave.
